If you mean the one that has less chances vs anything, the C202. Its a slow thing with pea shooters.

Yeah but it sure is fun to fly it around and peck people to death   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

LJKRaub has 2 kills and has been killed 2 times in the C.202.

I don't know RAM.  If I was in a fight between a C.202 and a C-47 I think I'd rather be in the C.202.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Seriously,
Does the A6M5b have the advantage over the C.202 in AH?

The A6M5 has the advantage only if the two are turn fighting in air space the size of a football field.

I can't boom and zoom well in a C47.
I can't turnfight well in a C47.
Top speed of a C47 is pitifull.
I can't attack in a C47.
My only defense in a C47 is to jig or make the other guy auger.

I vote C47

Not quite Fury.  I once scored an Air-to-Air kill in a C47.  Here's what you do:
Find your target (another C47 in my case) flying below you in a straight line.
Dive down on his six, fly underneath him, and pop up right in front of him.
Mentally extend his flight path on line and fly down that.
Due to lag, his plane's position on his FE is a little ahead of what it is on yours.  So at some point, the two planes collide on his FE.

Congratulations! you are now a certified lagramming dweeb!

Note to future dweebs: this tactic makes no sense in any plane but the C47, since if you can fly in front of the enemy, you can just as easily blow his bellybutton off.  Besides, the amount of lag varies enough so that "overshooting" is quite easy to do.

C.202 gets my points  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Altho, its one fun plane.

I did once ram B26 with 190.
I went too fast past its 6, compressed and went below, then I figured that I'd hit its belly and pulled up, but too fast speed and I flew right past his front and then wondered where he dissapeared.
that was one interesting kill  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Well I've got more kills in a C47 than a C202 so C202 it is.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Any lightly armed plane is going to have problems.  You have to get in close and stay in close with the peashooters, but when you do all the microwarps a frame rate hits you barely notice throw off your aim.  I remember in WB the Ki-43 was an OK plane, but you just couldn't kill with it for all for microwarps.  AH microwarps aren't nearly as bad as WB, but it's enough to make 2 .50s pretty worthless.  Not to mention all the C-hogs cruising around looking for turning aircraft to launch photon torpedos at.
